The agenda for Wednesday 10/13 and Thursday 10/14 has been posted. See here: http://www.hhs.gov/advcomcfs/meetings/agendas/cfsac20100923_agenda.html

It's pretty bleak. Science Day is where it's going to be! The initial announcement made it sound like Science Day wasn't open to the public. This is not correct, there simply are not times for public statements that day.

Here's what I know about "Science Day" Tuesday 10/12:

In my book, a much more interesting day!!! Hope to see you there.

Boy, I sincerely hope the meeting will be more exciting than the agenda looks. I mean really, with all that has happened since the last meeting and all that urgently needs to happen before we sufferers actually see some real, practical and concrete RELIEF from this continuous nightmare, I can think of lots of things that could and should be discussed as well as recommendations that could and should be made. (I say this as if something usually happens in response to the recommendations, ha!) I hope I'm pleasantly surprised. I hope, I hope, I hope. Maybe it will be different this time.

I hope to go to the meeting on the 12th...keeping my fingers crossed! I also want to attend the NJCFSA Conference on 10/17 and see Judy Mikovits speak again!
